Why chrome open when clicking on a URL in the gmail app, but the webpage is loaded in the gmail app

[AC Question]

ever since my phone updated to android 7.0, when I click on a link in an email in my gmail app, it will switch to my chrome app (as if it were going to load the webpage in chrome, which would be great) but then nothing happens. if I go back to my gmail app, I see that gmail has loaded the web page.

Is this expected behavior or a bug?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
